'Tongue' in the Bible
Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood;
To keep thee from the evil woman, From the flattery of the foreigner's tongue.
The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver: The heart of the wicked is little worth.
The mouth of the righteous bringeth forth wisdom; But the perverse tongue shall be cut off.
There is that speaketh rashly like the piercings of a sword; But the tongue of the wise is health.
The lip of truth shall be established for ever; But a lying tongue is but for a moment.
The tongue of the wise uttereth knowledge aright; But the mouth of fools poureth out folly.
A gentle tongue is a tree of life; But perverseness therein is a breaking of the spirit.
The plans of the heart belong to man; But the answer of the tongue is from Jehovah.
An evil-doer giveth heed to wicked lips; And a liar giveth ear to a mischievous tongue.
He that hath a wayward heart findeth no good; And he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
The getting of treasures by a lying tongue Is a vapor driven to and fro by them that seek death.
Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue Keepeth his soul from troubles.
By long forbearing is a ruler persuaded, And a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
The north wind bringeth forth rain: So doth a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.
A lying tongue hateth those whom it hath wounded; And a flattering mouth worketh ruin.
He that rebuketh a man shall afterward find more favor Than he that flattereth with the tongue.
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; And the law of kindness is on her tongue.
